| Detailed Description |
The WinGate Proxy server, according to its banner, has a buffer overflow flaw which exist in versions prior to 6.1.3. Qbik WinGate is a proxy server for Microsoft Windows platforms that provides advanced user management and an integrated email server. WinGate versions prior to 6.1.3 are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the HTTP proxy. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request to the affected server, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the affected host or to cause the affected daemon to crash.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote HTTP server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
